Scientific paper

Nucleosynthesis in evolved (RGB and AGB) low-mass stars is reviewed under the light of the reaction rates recommended in the NACRE compilation (Angulo et al. 1999). We use a parametric model of stellar nucleosynthesis to investigate the uncertainties that still exist nowadays on the nuclear data and to give a critical point of view on the resulting evolution of the chemical abundances. We discuss in particular (i) the NeNa and MgAl modes of hydrogen burning in the context of the chemical anomalies observed in RGB globular cluster stars, (ii) the helium combustion in a thermal pulse of an AGB star.
